So, is it better than TF2 or nah?
>>337674690
Post the animated version, you dumb nerd.
>>337674690
Better than what TF2 is now
There's also no spy equivalent or random crits so it might also be better than tf2 at launch
>>337674690
Pros
>no bronies
>no furries
>no autists
>no Hues
>no Russians
>Blizz has come out saying cheaters get perma banned on the first offense - no excuses
>easy to jump into
Cons
>Light on content on day 1 although they plan to add in more characters and maps
>No private servers
still don't understand why they compare these games, they're nothing alike.
Anyone have any Overwatch feet? Mostly D.Va please!!
>>337674690
mooom look! I posted the picture again!
fuck off
>>337674829
You say that but as a brony, furry autist, BRBR/Russo fag, I have to say you're wrong
>>337674690
I certainly have a lot more fun with it than i've had with TF2 for a loooooong time.
It's roughly the same game with a different paint of coat. Some things are improved and some are the opposite. Ultimates give it a MOBA feel but TF2 has a bit more depth. Artstyle is subjective.
I want Widowmaker to shit in my mouth
>no hats
>no bronies
it's already better
>>337674690

Man that's such a weird angle. Not really flattering as well. How did she get the bear's number?
>>337675018
are you implying that being free is good
>>337675018
That picture only confirms the fact that ow is better at the skin part
It requires less aim and movements, but if you enjoy that then I guess you would like it. People who enjoy quake and tf2 won't have much fun in OW
>>337674997
so its specifically hats that are bad? not cosmetic items?
And of course it has less, its not even out. Blizzard will steadily release new ones though.
>>337674981
It's been so long I don't remember what maps/modes TF2 launched with. Still, TF2 had the ability to make maps and have private servers with new fan made maps on day 1.
I like Overwatch and pre-ordered it, but its longevity relies on Blizz adding content at a reasonable pace
>>337674690
awww dude look at that butt my boner is so hard right now!
i want to have sex with her doggystyle dude
>>337675095
tf2 updates now only consists of retarded hats that don't fit the artstyle
>>337675018
First off it's 40 bucks
Also are you seriously complaing that Overwatch doesnt let you put on a fedora with neon green flames hovering around it?
>>337675181
TF2 is almost 10 years old.

>>337675256
What stops them from making another tf, then ? Instead of releasing hats after hatsvalve
>>337674690
It's easier and has a lower skill ceiling than TF2.
Somehow it out-casuals TF2.
>>337675345

Fucking sell your IP's at least if you never plan to make a game again.
>>337675102
Of the few maps at launch were 2fort and dustbowl, hands down the worst maps in the game
Also custom maps is nice but its nearly impossible to find a server actually running any that arent trade minecraft/brony ERP whatever
>>337675465

>>337675095
hats aren't really the main problem.
the problem was that the playerbase shifted, and became more about idling items, trading hats and WEAPONS and about making money.
it wasn't about playing TF2 anymore.
Overwatch has no trading and skins can be obtained by just playing the game, it's perfect that way.
>>337674690
it's different.
but yes it's a more fun game than TF2 is right now, with a much brighter future.

It's different game. Only genre is similar and it's where similarity ends.
>>337675610
While they might be there in Overwatch, they can't spam their Rainbow Dash sprays all over the server or have a server where everyone uses pony skins

>>337675814
Well, blizcock obviously copied like they always do. I'm not even surprised. What I'm saying is comparing OW with TF2 is very stupid. One is hyper-fps while other one is casul one.
>>337675814
Junkrat, Tobjorn, Mercy, and Pharah are the only ones that are cut from TF2.
Everything else is only vaguely similar or completely different. Mei is only like the Pyro in that she has a M1 beam weapon. Zarya is the furthest thing from the Heavy, Bastion's turret form is more like the Heavy. Tracer is only similar to Scout in playstyle. There's no Spy equivalent, either.
But even then, Overwatch is more like a first person MOBA than a straight TF2 clone.
>>337675475
Are you stupid?
There's almost no reason to release sequels for games of Valve's current business model.
They are either free to play or have a low cost, and provide them more income through microtransactions than they could ever hope to make through simply selling copies of a sequel.
They're already making guaranteed money while spending nearly nothing and taking no risks.
>>337675992
well the level in overwatch only represents experience and play time, not actual level of skill.
i hope they have some background number determined by player performance.
>>337676059

I hope for my sanity that tf2 isn't the casual fps one in your mind.

nothing like that.
while it has everything in common with TF2
>hurr durr TF2 doesn't have abilitys like overwatch.
and yet it does.
Jarate, Scouts baseball stun, pyro M2, Buff Banner all that shit is cooldown based. basically being a Ability in Overwatch.
I had a good time in the beta and it has some of my favourite character designs.
>>337676097
Hanzo: Huntsman sniper
WM:sniper
you forgot these cancer characters.
Overwatch is basically a casual tf2. They take any sort of advanced movement mechanics that tf2 has and then just bind it so shift or ctrl.
Bad movement with ultimates = casual game.
>>337676295
>Jarate, Scouts baseball stun, pyro M2, Buff Banner all that shit is cooldown based. basically being a Ability in Overwatch.
JUST

Maybe they need to make the orb a giant flashing neon sign instead
>>337674924
you do realize the bronies will swap over to Overwatch?
>>337676462
you might be actually retarded if you don't see the similarity.
>>337676295
You play heroes instead of classes.
You have hotkeys instead of items/weapons.
You have ultimates.
Saying "nothing in common" is blatantly false. I never said it WAS a MOBA, I said it was LIKE a MOBA. Some concepts are clearly inspired by it. It's not a straight TF2 clone, so calling it one is wrong.
>Jarate, Scouts baseball stun, pyro M2, Buff Banner all that shit is cooldown based. basically being a Ability in Overwatch.
Alternate weapons and items aren't abilities. Having a cooldown doesn't make them the same.
>>337676372
I didn't forget Widowmaker, since having a generic "Sniper" class isn't anything you can attribute to TF2. Even then, TF2 Sniper doesn't have a grappling hook, and has a shitty SMG instead of an assault rifle.
I did forget Hanzo.
>>337676498
That didn't particularly bother me because even Zen by himself destroys tanks at long range with a discord orb.
>>337676498
I played only attack or defense class. Is Zenyatta available?

>>337676295
>while it has everything in common with TF2
Except TF2 has community-ran servers, a modding scene, a completely different physics engine, lacks a "press Q to murder everyone" button, etc. You will never see anything like custom maps, which now make up the bulk of the official maps in TF2 and are by far the best maps in the game. You also probably won't be seeing community-made game modes like Saxton Hale, Prop Hunt, SOAP DM, etc.
>>337676656
>press 2 and LMB instead of just E or LSHIFT
>WOW DUDE TOTALLY NOT THE SAME BRO
come the fuck on man.
heroes and classes is just different marketing, like using the term MOBA instead of Dota-like
ofcourse Overwatch was inspired by Mobas, however it turns out TF2 did all these things before MOBAs were big.
if i made a class based shooter in 2016 i would try to appeal to the Dota and League crowd as well.
>>337676501
let's hope bronies don't have the money for Overwatch, they also don't get to use custom sprays so they can't spread their religion.
>>337676872

What similarity? Are you seriously thinking item is skill? is fucking HE grenade in CS GO is skill? IS that what you're saying?
Why are TF2fags so butthurt? Can't they just go play their game in peace, and stop crying?
>b-but muh game 'innovated' this style of play!
>>337676994
the grenades in CSGO aren't cooldown based.
if they were then yes i would consider that a skill.
>>337676984
Get out of my cs go
RRRREEEEEE
>>337676097
>Overwatch is more like a first person MOBA than a straight TF2 clone.
Blizzard made a huge miscalculation by releasing the game at the same time as Battleborn since that completely destroyed that line of defense.
Battleborn is not a good game by any measure but it's actually first person moba, unlike Overwatch which is just a glorified Team Fortress rip-off.
>>337676917
>heroes and classes is just different marketing, like using the term MOBA instead of Dota-like
Except when you have 21 fucking heroes with more heroes coming it's obvious it's a completely different design philosophy than classes.
If you designed a game with classes you would have only a few classes that each fulfill a unique role, overwatch has several overlapping characters all fulfilling the same roles.

There is dedicated servers but they are fully run by Blizzard. What I meant is that there are no community-run dedicated servers.
>>337677212
I hosted like 650 servers the other day, it was very funNNNn!
>>337677212

You can host games, but you won't get experience progress or Hero play time for games played hosted on a non-Blizzard server, which is incredibly fucking dumb.
>>337677529
you can purchase lootboxes, no confirmation on buying skins directly.
also the trading between players was the problem, not the pay for cosmetics thing in general.

>>337674690
When will people stop comparing this game and TF2?
Overwatch is more like MNC or any other ARTS than TF2
>>337677962
get out with that gold meme.
>>337677951
Valve is probably happy about others trying to copy TF2, although most developers fail at imitating some of the fundamental elements that make TF2 great.
But for a player is really obvious when something is just a half-assed copy of something else, it's not something that can be ignored. Overwatch has some neat ideas but the execution is pretty lacking, I would have preferred to see Titan rather than see the scraps.
>>337678035
what movie is that from
>>337677650
I try to imagine that each joystick also controls two robotic dildos that are built into her tight pantsu. That's why she is so unstoppable inside the mecha.
>>337675018
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9RjDRLBWio
>>337678035
Yes, they should be "flattered". Since TF2 literally created everything that's in Overwatch, not only that, but just about every other shooter apparently. TF2 was just one of those super innovative games that created everything, how can anyone else even compete?
>>337677962

>Jeff Kaplan: We were running the progression system internally for about two months before the beta came back and one of the things we saw a demand for was: "hey, this is really cool, but I'd also like to be able to buy these loot boxes". So that's something which we're very open to and it's very likely to be in the game in the future.

It didn't filter you, so that's the main reason many ppl won't play it.
I haven't played Overwatch, is there something similar to rocket jumping in it? A friend of mine was complaining about it, but he is kinda bad at games.
>>337678365
Hey, ripping off TF2 is no big deal. It's like when you see characters wearing jeans in video games. They're all ripping off Levi Strauss.
At first there was nothing, no games ever existed before TF2...
Then everybody started ripping them off... so here we are today debating it.
>>337678105
Possibly never?
They are similar games
>>337678565
THis guy can place a mine and get a boost, and another character has a jetpack, one guy can climb walls. There might be more but im not sure.
>>337674690
>>337678281
this isn't in the actual game, is it?
>>337678565
Phara can shoot one of her skills in the floor in front of her and propel her up along with her regular escape boost.
Junkrat can throw a concussion bomb on the grind and propel himself up too. You can't spam that though.
>>337678565
No, closest thing is Pharah's shift which sends you straight up into the air
People have been trying to replicate it by using her concussive blast but it doesn't work nearly the same way
>>337678645
everyone on this board is a retard
>>337678639
Pretty sure both Genji and Hanno can wall climb
>>337678365
>>337678138
>>337678035
>>337677480
Gee, you lads aren't very bright, are you?
>>337678565
Theres an jump jet ability with a cooldown but its nowhere as useful as rocket jumping.
>>337678639
Hanzo can climb walls too and Lucio can scate along every wall in the game.
>>337678639
>>337678659
>>337678668
>>337678724
Okay, thank you, looks like my friend's complaints were valid.
>>337678565
Nope. There's 0 movement mechanics in OW. It's a console game after all.
>>337678565
>I haven't played Overwatch, is there something similar to rocket jumping in it?
There is a girl that's basically the Soldier, excepting that instead of rocket jumping she has a jetpack that rises her up in the air and can hover in the air for a fucking long time. It's basically the Soldier class made for babies.
>>337678565
despite what everyone has been saying, the rocketlauncher girl can do regular rocketjumping.
her SHIFT boost jetpack has a long cooldown, and doing a normal rocketjump costs 40 health out of 200 max health.
i feel like just because people aren't doing it yet doesn't mean it's not useful.
her rockets fly pretty slow, so sometimes getting less air by rocketjumping, meaning you're closer to the ground and do damage faster.
i found myself rocketjumping a few times during open beta, especially when going towards the objective, it seemed faster than just running.
>>337678934
She can also rocket jump the normal way.
And the Australian demoman can sticky jump with his mine.
>>337678934
I want Pharah to beat me up
>tfw I can't decide if Soldier 76, Pharah, Reinhardt, Mercy, Lucio, or Zenyatta is my favorite
i enjoyed the beta, but 40 euros is a bit steep for a multiplayer-only game presumably without any mod support what-so-ever and a server browser for custom content

Meh, it happened. You move on when game is done.
>>337679035
She can stand in the air for a long time just with the boost and there is a lot of high ground everywhere. And most people have no idea how to deal with her.
>>337679126
you will probably get more hours out of overwatch than any other game you buy
>>337679129
>TF2 died the moment it went F2P
The game was slowly declining in players when it went F2P. Going free made the game more popular than ever. It was necessary for the game to survive this long.
>>337679126
It really comes down to the fact that do you think the game is worth the price.
I got 20 hours out of the beta and that's worth more then the 90aud ill be paying going by an hourly rate,
>>337676872
> -$40
> +Free
>>337679182
E still has a cooldown, is sometimes unreliable and mid combat it sometimes has more useful applications
>>337679205
well yes, in that case you don't need to rocketjump, again i said it's sometimes useful and totally an option.

Not really, after 10 hours of the beta I was already getting sick of it. Trying new classes added some more hours but there is not a lot to do with a game.
I think the game is worth 15 dollars at best.

I agree with you on the awful items and skins, but you can mod those out and they're necessary to earn Valve some easy dosh to keep the game alive.
Recently Valve took some steps to help community servers too, looks like they're going to allow server owners to enable the contract system on their server as long as it meets some as-of-yet unknown requirements. That and killing off LMAObox finally.

>>337679953
Widowmaker cannnot do jackshit if Pharah sees her first. And McCree is basically a non-threat unless you are stupid enough to not have the high ground at all times.
Bastion can be a threat but only because Bastion is nearly OP as fuck in certain areas. This will not change unless Blizzard introduces a proper spy class or guts him.

I never played McCree, I saw some good ones McCree players but they were non-existent when I was playing Pharah, because he is a non-entity when I was playing her.

If you're matched with people above your level it means you're better than average.

the first post in this thread is talking about how the game doesn't have bronies, furries, autists, etc
but it will, and unlike TF2 it doesn't have private servers so there will be no way to avoid them. it might be good now but Blizzard doesn't have the foresight to prevent it devolving into shit by having private servers.
>>337680026
Why would they keep it going if it didn't turn a sizable profit? It probably doesn't cost much to run the servers or pay the three interns that still work on the game, but Valve probably has particular goals the game needs to meet to stay alive. If stupid people want to waste money on ugly skins I won't ever see, let em.

>>337674690

I don't see why would anyone think that McCree counters Pharah, he has very short range in comparison and less mobility.

McCree counter pharah, but then again most hitscan weapons counter pharah.
Street pig is best guy
>>337680918
but I'm saying that TF2 is better than Overwatch in that regard because Overwatch literally doesn't have private servers or leagues so you quite literally have no way to avoid the autists and faggots
it is just going to be a shitty community and there will be no way to avoid it. Blizzard only cares about box sales and they will give no fucks whatsoever about maintaining a community, they pretty much never have in any game they've made. and a community is pretty fucking important to have in a game like TF2 or Overwatch or people have no reason to continue playing.
>>337680971
>The fact that he can get into a goddamn sniper fight with Widow and win.
Not against a non-shit Widowmaker. HIs pistols have plenty of damage falloff.
>>337680876
What do you mean short-range? Do MC have damage fallout? Cause I was having sniper duel with WM and I won. Mostly because WM suck ass but point still stand.

In a few areas he is OP as fuck, I tried it myself, it's insanely unfair. They made a very mobile Wrangled sentry with very little damage falloff and self-repair.
And then decided it was balanced. They already nerfed him and he is still strong as fuck. In TF2 you would deal with that with a spy or an ubercharge, but that doesn't exist in Overwatch.
>>337681569

Two characters have a "Rocket jump"
Pharah has a jetpack ability, and a rocket with a knockback that also effects herself.
Junkrat can minejump.
>>337676656

Which game before Team Fortress had a sniper class? They even copied the zoom/charging mechanism and machine gun secondary.

That's called 'good game design', by making the character who's lethal at long range weak at close range.

His long range damage is 35. 70 if it's a head shot.
Do you really intend to snipe with that?Takes 3 shot to kill Zenyatta.
Heck, Zenyatta does more damage long range than you. 45 damage, 90 headshot. And I'm not even considering orb of discord.
I just don't even understand how Blizzard even plans to support esports in OW without private servers either
How will high ranked players meet up with each other to scrim teams and stuff? Or just practice with each other in general? If you can't make your own servers to have private matches how will you even practice?
I just don't even understand how this shit is going to work at all, do they just think esports communities happen by having ranked matchmaking and that's it?
>>337681839

>>337681901
kys my man
>>337682027
There is a private match option, you know. Even if you don't have your own server, you're still able to play in a private game that is invite only.
>>337682185
>>337682293
Yeah that sounds like shit though, how are you supposed to form an esports community if you have to invite every player yourself and also why even bother if you don't get experience? They basically want you to already know people before meeting them, I don't see their "esports community" lasting very long because of this
I feel like they haven't really thought this through
>>337682027
The only purpose of Overwatch is to make some quick buck from consolefags. Then later go F2P and make money out of cash cow whales.
When Titan was canceled Blizzard shifted focus on reviving WoW by shifting most employees there. The lack of content in WoW in the past 7 years is because they assumed Titan was going to be their next big game.
So the plan is to revive WoW, start a movie franchise with the Warcraft film, keep milking Hearthstone and start selling more merchandise. Their focus now is on Warcraft and Overwatch is just a way to compensate on all the shekels they wasted on Titan.

It's OW. what did you expect really?
>>337682362
>how are you supposed to form an esports community if you have to invite every player yourself
Other competitive games have been doing it for years. It's not this huge barrier to entry you think it is.
>and also why even bother if you don't get experience
Experience means nothing beyond crates, so it's not a huge loss. If you're doing it competitively, and getting paid, and skins/voice lines/poses mean that much to you, you can take some of your prize money and buy crates.
>They basically want you to already know people before meeting them
What? That's amazingly stupid. I'm having trouble understanding what you're getting at. Is the problem that you're expected to know your team, and the team you're scrimming with before the match? Because that's literally not a problem. Because otherwise, it's the same shit as the private servers. You needed to know who you were alerting/giving the PW to for said private servers.
>I don't see their "esports community" lasting very long because of this
Because of basically a series of non-issues?
>>337682504
Yeah but how the fuck am I going to meet high ranking people and play with them then? Even in ranked matchmaking I still won't do that
You have to meet people before you befriend them and invite them to play a private game. Even if the game starts out with teams already made, if people leave they are going to have a really hard time filling slots because their won't be private servers full of high ranked players like TF2
I just don't see how they plan to have an esports community in a game like this without private servers
>>337682701
see above
Do you play competitive TF2 at all? If so, you would know what I'm talking about
>>337682752
have you ever played in a clan?
you register on some website like ESL
you go for a tournament/ladder and see who you get to play against.
if you just want to train with your buddys then playing ranked matchmaking is probably a safe bet.
all the "matching up" usually happens outside the game with 3rd partys.
at least that's my experience doing competetive TF2 in 2008-2009.
>>337682975
Okay but get this anon, you're on a team and you have some people leave your team
How the fuck do you plan to find more people to fill your team?
>>337674829
Пpивeт, yёбa. Я yжe зaкaзaл.
>>337681901
Go away.
>>337683086
from my experience, people apply for clans, or they are friends of a clan member, or you see good people in matchmaking.
in regular matchmaking you often stay with the same group of players as long as they don't leave.
>>337683086
In competitive play you don't play with randoms anyway.
Why the fuck is everyoine saying Overwatch is 60$ ? It's fucking 39.99$ unless you want some bonus skins that are IMO not fucking worth it at all
>>337683258
Yeah but how do you meet other people that you can confirm are good to join your team if there are no private servers to meet them on?
>>337682610
OW is a great source of webms
There's even an entire gameplay element dedicated entirely to webm making, it's called play of the game
>>337682752
>Yeah but how the fuck am I going to meet high ranking people and play with them then?
There is going to be a ranked ladder mode in Overwatch at launch. If you're at a high rank, you're going to get matched into a lot of matches with other high level players.
>Even in ranked matchmaking I still won't do that
Yes you will.
>You have to meet people before you befriend them and invite them to play a private game.
Yes, this is correct.
> Even if the game starts out with teams already made, if people leave they are going to have a really hard time filling slots because their won't be private servers full of high ranked players like TF2
What do you mean by "if people leave?" If you mean mid-match, then you're missing a pretty fundamental thing. Overwatch, on a competitive level, will be a team sport. You'll be doing scrims AS A TEAM. If you randomly bail, you're going to have five other people giving you shit for being a bitch.
>I just don't see how they plan to have an esports community in a game like this without private servers
There are a bunch of successful esports without private servers.
>>337683086
Look at the high level match making. Look for people not on teams. Alternatively, look at other teams. See who you can make an offer to.
>>337683259
Blizzard jews default to the $60 edition when you try to buy it, so that's what everyone thinks it costs
I was talking to a friend on Skype, first thing he told me was "it was fun but it's a $30 or $40 game not a $60 one it's waytoo expensive fuck them" and I didn't tell him it's actually $40 because fuck Blizzard and their Jewish tricks.

That's how I play him. Push and leap into sentry, dump some ammo, then get going again. Recently I've taken to using Solider for offense, though.
>>337685576
And airshots, and headshots and the whole Scout class.
Sniper
Scout
Soldier
Demoman
All have higher skill ceiling than anything on Overwatch.
>>337685893
well overwatch has headshots too, not sure what you mean with airshots.
and saying a class is better with no explanation doesn't really prove your point.
>>337685893
just FYI.
almost every weapon in overwatch can do headshots (except explosives and energy weapons)
TF2 sniper is pretty much Overwatch widowmaker with longer charges but no mines and no spidermanhook
demoman is pretty much the same as junkrat.
you have to shoot people mid air way more than in TF2 since many characters can go airborne

thanks for proving my point.
it's too bad it doesn't have plauer-run servers, but that's not blizzard's style.
I'm not like /v/ where I can autistically play the same game for 4000 hours. I got what I wanted out of TF2 after a month or so around when it came out, and again a little while later. So I don't see why it would matter if it's objectively better or not because I am never going back to TF2.
However one thing it beats TF2 in is attracting my wowfag friends. It's great finally getting them to play an FPS with me, even if they're turboshitters.

but OW has average longer range than TF2 and has headshots
I mean compare shotguns, inaccurate pistols, the minigun and the SMG to shit like genjis throwing star, mccrees revolver, meis icicle gun, zenyattas orbs, the OW weapons actually work beyond mid-range
>>337686451
>There's no juggling in Overwatch and those are much easier to do because everyone is so slow.
but there is?
but junkrat and pharah both have skills dedicated to popping people up for air rockets.
pharah vs pharah mid air fight is fucking great and all about hitting air rockets predicting knockback and hitting the 2nd air rocket.

Ive seen some of the top players in the extended closed beta juggle a lucio who was trying to ult in the air for quite a while. It takes multiple people all adding abilities rather than something that any soldier can do solo, but its still doable.
(for context lucio's ult shield doesnt actually go off until he hits the ground even if hes done his callout)

i think they are at least on par when it comes to speed.
>>337681282
I mostly play tanks, indirect combat is boring, and I don't play genji and reaper because they're show off heroes that 14 year olds play to get PotG.
>>337684798
spy is fun and unique but he's a shit class thats more or less impossible to balance
>>337688078
OW is faster for 95% of the playerbase who havent mastered explosive jumping and all its intricacies, but rocket/sticky jumping is so absurdly brokenly powerful in TF2 that if you've completely mastered it the game entirely changes and becomes incredibly fast.
Honestly i can understand why the OW devs wanted to avoid explosive jumping in their game. It wildly overpowers both classes that can do it in TF2 and makes competitive balance an utter nightmare. Ill miss the speed as a player, but if i were one of the OW devs id make the same decision.
>>337686042
>well overwatch has headshots too
With twice the firing rate and three times the charge rate so it doesn't matter if you miss. And traps to protect your back so you don't need situational awareness. And a grappling hook so you don't need good positioning.
There's less speed and aerial play in Overwatch so less opportunity for skilled plays.
>>337686560
>but OW has average longer range than TF2
That makes aim easier because your target's side strafing moves less from your perspective. Most of OW's ranged weapons are repeating so you can spam them, you don't have to pick a shot.
>>337689140
>With twice the firing rate and three times the charge rate so it doesn't matter if you miss
you missed that anons point.
Almost every weapon, can do headshots.
nah
>>337689334
Headshots in TF2 are limited by firing rate. In CSGO, by recoil. OW has no recoil, fast firing rates, and infinite ammo. There's no skill in headshots when you can just spray and pray at chokes and get them by luck.
>>337689316
yeah but your targets are smaller as well, and many of the weapons are fast-moving projectiles so you have to lead
No foreigners INSTANTLY makes it better (you have to pay), so I'll be preordering this.
>>337689551
there is recoil in overwatch. especially characters like soldier 76, Mccree and tracer
and you have to reload most weapons thus having to make your shots count.
>>337689594
Fast moving projectiles against slow moving targets is pretty easy, especially as most of them don't have drop, and targets are funnelled through chokes.
Why are Brazilians so incredibly fucking obnoxious?
>>337689617
Well, there's foreigners but none of the shitty poor ones. Even if BRs and Russians can afford the game, I think they have their own servers.
>>337689730
The reloading is fast clip-loading and you have an infinite ammo pool. The longer range makes it easier to get away with reloading. If the soldier or scout gets caught reloading in his most effective range he's in trouble, OW heroes can spam from range and reload in safety.
>>337675610
Regardless of the amount of furries/autists that actually play OW, they never actually show it.
>>337689871
but the TF2 soldier can also spam from range and reload safely.
and the scout has a shotgun so ofcourse he has to go in, comparable to reaper or tracer with their shit ranges.
>>337689773
yeah but we're comparing it to TF2's shotguns here
and you really don't move that fast in TF2 unless you're scout
>>337674829
>no Hues
Isso é o que você pensa meu amigo
>>337674829
It literally has all of the things you said there was none of in the pros.
>>337690091
Erm no, the soldier's rockets have distance drop off, they only do anything at close range.
>and the scout has a shotgun so ofcourse he has to go in, comparable to reaper or tracer with their shit ranges
Yes, but two main differences: the scout does not have clip reloading, in the time tracer or reaper can fully reload, the scout can only reload one shell.
the scout also does not have any 'get out of jail free' abilities, if he's caught out he's dead.

the scout might take longer to reload, however he also has a pistol and a pretty effective melee weapon. also a double jump and higher movement speed than everyone else.

>>337678565
All these casual fag responses. A true rocket jump exists in the game and is used in high level play all the time. When Bastion ults, he can rocket jump very well and use it to get to platforms and etc
itt people who have no idea how to play fps games type words.
>>337674690
Doesn't matter anon, TF2 died with conga so it's the only alternative
>>337681282
i played all of them except of zarya
liked roadhog, dva, pharah and mccree most
>>337674690
I've never had teammates taunting, doing the conga, trading, or changing cosmetics in the spawn room during a match in overwatch. So yeah, it's better
>>337674690

>>337692440
It has players but most of them are either idling for hats, trading for hats, sitting in chatroom servers or are the typical third world children that typically inhabit free to play games.
TF2 is a bloated corpse at this point, competitive mode came out about 8 years too late, and every "update" Is pretty much just another model to push new cosmetic items on players.

You had no excuse not to even try the free beta, which was extended by a day before it ended. Even then there's likely to be a timed free demo like all Blizzard games have.
>>337681282
Symmetra needs to be useful at launch else I won't even bother. Hanzo and Widow don't appeal to me. Mei physically repulses me due to her terrible design and balance. Genji and Reaper are played by faggots.

Genji is the most rewarding character to play. He requires the most skill to be effective and is very fun.
McCree is broken af.
>>337681282
i dont play dva or roadhog often, but i do every now and then. im not very good with genju but i like the playstyle and think he's a fun character.

>>337690091
>the scout has a shotgun so ofcourse he has to go in
The scout prefers to play from mid range unless an opponent is wounded. He's squishy.
>>337695224
Considering how 10 million people played the beta and I'm sure a good chunk will buy it. We won't ever see it go F2P unless population starts dropping and the game dies from Blizzard killing it with dumbshit updates.
In other words, I'll have some fun for years to come.
People are actually buying this Social Justice game?
>>337694714
Genji is overpowered as shit. Fuck you.
Overwatch deemphasizes the individual. In TF2 a truly good player can stomp pubs. In OW there are a lot more nearly insurmountable counters, or at the very least bullet sponges which really slow you down.
>>337674690
Its different from TF2, but I'd say it is and it isn't Its a much more casual in comparison, but there is also a lot more variety per hero with the various skills each has. All in all I'd recommend trying it if they do another free weekend or something. I wouldn't really play it to be competitive, but theres still a lot of fun to be had.
>>337695395
It depends more on how many players stay with the game, rather than how many just buy it. FPS games have a similar problem as MMOs do, in which a lot of players try out new games, but they tend to go back to old favorites after the allure of something new wears off.
>>337692043
Hyped to hell by Blizzard with a marketing budget bigger than some countries' GDPs, and barely any more viewers than some knackered old Valve game they don't even develop anymore.
>>337696051
the issue here is what FPS game is currently popular on PC right now?
CS GO?
TF2?
I really can't think of anything else, I think most likely is OW getting it's own niche and slowly becoming the go to FPS on PC for casual play.
>>337693212
>TF2 fags think their game was first to make classes which use projectile rockets and bombs

Which characters do you guys think has the highest skill ceiling?

Nice, Zarya and D.VA are two of my favourites.
Now learn Pharah, best girl.
TF2 is still a better package, it has years and years of content behind it and has lots of community support with dedicated servers and such
I enjoy Overwatch though and find it refreshing in the absence of a proper TF2 sequel
>>337695224
Blizzard games never have trading, you buy the hats from them and nowhere else, hence the cancerous trading community will never appear.
>>337696341
Quake is the most popular example that comes to mind. It just pisses me off that some TF2 obsessives think their game is gospel, and was the first to invent such things.
>>337696582
Good taste, anon. I didn't play the beta much as I joined in late, but I wanted to play Zarya more. Any tips?

>>337696996
Quake didn't have classes.
>>337696985
>cancerous trading community
While the past 2 years of steam games have been free for me thanks to steam trading, it negatively affects the game.
>>337674829
TF2 had 9 classes and 4 maps at launch.
Overwatch has 21 heroes and 12 maps at launch.
>>337697128

>>337697113
Some criticism is stable. Saying Overwatch doesn't have any maps will probably not be true in a year. Saying ultimates are dumb or that it emphasizes MOBA elements that minimize individual players is not wrong.
Why would you buy the game when all the porn is freely aviable on the internet?
>>337697073

That's funny, the argument stemmed from OW allegedly copying TF2's Soldier and Demoman classes, because TF2 was apparently the first game to use projectile weapons like bomb and rocket launchers, if we look at the babyfur RP server shitters that post here trying to defend their game.

There's been almost a fucking decade of class-based shooters before TF2. If you honestly think that OW has copied TF2, it's obvious you didn't didn't play the beta to come to your own conclusions.
Also, I've never played another Blizzard game before.
>>337674981
It has double the characters because you have to play MOBA character switching grabass to get around hard counters that don't exist in TF2.
>>337674829
Literally all those boogeyman groups will be in the game day 1 of launch, so the only pro is that it's casual and cheaters get banned.
Great.
Nah, but it's totally worth the 40$ pricepoint and we can go back to tf2 when it dies in 4 months

Lol, the blizzdrone marketers are in force today. TF2's original visual design is unmatched in gaming. The use of colour, shading, shape, level design. Overwatch is a random mishmash of shit thrown together from leftover assets of failed games. It has no theme, no style, no character of its own. It looks like an explosion in a wax crayon factory, and like all Blizzard games, the awful graphics are overlaid by the messiest, clunkiest HUD you could conceive.

Just waiting on Source 2 and TF3.
Any day now for sure.
>>337698448
Reaper has nothign to do with the Spy. Reaper's barely even an ambush character.
Does this game even feature any male characters? All I see in those threads is ugly girls in shitty costumes.
>>337699420
Those different characters are just equivalent to TF2 loadouts though, so it doesn't really give you more options.
In tf2 you have 9 classes and like 4 ways to play them. Here instead you get 40 characters. Kinda the samey, but tf2 have 10 years of balancing and imo Valve is better at map design.
>>337699336
I really fucking hate how the characters aren't color-coded in Overwatch, just adds that tiny bit of delay on recognizing whether another character is an alley or an enemy
>>337696480
No.
Random Crits there is almost 0 counterplay to them.
In overwatch it's get behind cover for the most part, or have someone else use their ults. Ults are far more predictable than RNGesus.
>>337699027
> to get around hard counters that don't exist in TF2.
So Demoman countering Engineer isn't a thing?
>MOBA character switching
Firstly OW isn't a MOBA, which it's obvious you didn't know because of the utter shit you're unironically posting as fact. Secondly MOBA's like Dota and LoL, HoN, etc, don't allow you to switch characters after you've picked.
>>337699336

Engi can be countered by demo, soldier, spy or ubered heavy. TF2 has very few hard counters that require changing classes. OW is a game of paper scissor stone
>>337699336
Your so delusional it hurts
>blizzdrone marketers
there it is again
>>337699603
They literally are, the enemy has a big red name and health bar over them, they're outlined in red, and you can't see them through walls so any person you didn't see coming around the corner is easily distinguished.

>Those different characters are just equivalent to TF2 loadouts though, so it doesn't really give you more options.
>>337699570
> Here instead you get 40 characters. Kinda the samey
Wrong. A character using a different loadout in TF2 still has mostly the same playstyle due to the hard limits the class imposes but only with a varying degree of difference from vanilla as a result of the new gun, new deployable, etc.
>>337699624
Demo vs Engie is literally the only thing that can be considered a hard counter in TF2, while every single character in Overwatch counters and is countered by someone else.
>>337699684
Again, what's wrong with the HUD?

>>337700459
>charging targe makes pyro obsolete
Nope. Pyro exists to protect the combo with airblast and nothing else, charging targe makes no difference. No, the pyro can't damage him but pyros aren't there to damage, they only exist for airblast. Demoknights are useless anyway.
>>337699331
They mainly love Widowmaker and Tracer while I prefer D.Va
>>337700456
the only worthwhile thing you mentioned is the gunslinger
youre saying having different deployment speeds on your minigun (bb vs tomi) is enough depth to qualify for an entirely different playstyle that is replayable and worthy of note?
surely you see the hard boundaries set by being X character and only so much is left to variation, most weapons function the same way and the little differences here and there (like the targe and slinger) dont match the unique playstyles of overwatch
>>337700868
I would say that makes TF2 the retarded one since it doesn't do something most other shooters and videogames in general do, doesn't it?
>>337701087
But it looked better.
>>337700895
>pyro cant damage him now because he picked this weapon in the loadout and thats okay
stop
>>337700745
Pretty lame joke desu senpai
>>337700459
>short circuit firing speed makes demo and soldier obsolete
So engie is a hard counter to demo and soldier, who are hard counters to engie? You haven't thought that through.
>sniper vs heavy
That's not a hard counter, just a matter of range. Sniper beats heavy at long range, heavy beats sniper at near range.
>razorback when in an engi nest makes spies completely useless
Sap the engie nest, kill the engie, shoot the sniper. One player isn't supposed to be able to take out multiple opponents single hand anyway.
>>337700658
Yeah, but what was said was "Every single character has a hard counter", which isn't true.
>>337700661
>Doesn't stand out against light backgrounds
Evidently not true
>Important information in the corners
Yeah, like any shooter, including TF2.
>Health bars/player names in key areas causing visual clutter
Health bars only passively appear at close distance (Or if you're doing damage/healing to someone) and they scale depending on how far away you are.
Next straw man?
>>337680694
this
>9.5 million players in 4 days in a beta
>TF2's peak was like 130k
i think its a lot more fun than TF2 was even at launch and i've been playing TF2 since like 2008 only time will tell to see if blizzard fucks the entire thing up
>>337700656
nah, only for day 1 beginners
bastion is actually highly situational and not "op" at all, if anything, he's considered underpowered
>>337674981
But TF2 wasn't $60
Hell, I think it was $20 before it went F2P
>>337701721
OW is $40.
>>337701862
Yes but even for $40, three very similar game modes is a bit iffy
Overwatch is going to die in a month
>>337701721
TF2
>20 bucks
>9 classes
>5 maps
>3 gamemodes or something like that
Overwatch
>40 bucks
>21 classes
>12 maps
>4 gamemodes
i feel like it's properly priced, and just like TF2 all the future content will be free minus Steam community market, minus idling, minus going F2P (probably/hopefully)
>>337701252
Pyro isn't a damage class, it's a pure defensive class. The only value it has to a team is airblast. Demoknight is useless, pyro stops him with an airblast then the demoknight dies instantly to the combat classes.
Just gonna leave this here....
>>337683207
>>337686440
What are you people doing with those dolphins you bought?
>>337676872
How is free a good thing motherfucker?
>>337701921
eh... all heroes are unlocked, and there'll be new maps / heroes on a regular basis included in that.
yes you're paying for future content, but this is blizzard, they have some staying power, so you know the game won't be switched off in a year.
and it's much better than pay2win
>>337701921
As opposed to TF2's control point, capture the flag, and territorial control that it had on launch?
>>337702206
Definitely, but I was iffy about that model with Splatoon and my view hasn't changed for Overwatch. Yet.
>>337701407
>Evidently not true
White on white equals not clear. Basic design
>Yeah, like any shooter, including TF2.
TF2 has custom huds
>Health bars only passively appear at close distance
And they are still clutter.
Stop defending Blizzard's awful graphic design, just because you spent hundreds playing WoW doesn't mean you can't have your own opinions.
>>337701330
hard counter: "i cant do anything because someone chose to play a certain way"
engie deletes all projectiles, demo and soldier cant do anything about it
sniper stays back like theyre supposed to (seriously are you retarded?) heavy cant do anything about it
sniper equips razorback and stays in defensive spot with sentries watching on a pl or cp map, spy cant feasibly do anything about it
also
>pyro vs spy
guess you literally are retarded if you think theres only 1 hard counter
>>337702267
yeah, I get that.
did you get to play the beta?
>>337702143
I've never seen monster trucks driving around advertising TF2, or Taco Bell tie-ins, or the game promoted on the front page of Steam or at whatever Valve has instead of Blizzcon.
>>337702067
TF2 had something that OW doesn't and it will sound the death knell for it
>Mods
This game is gonna die like Diablo 3.
>>337702318
for some reasons, there's really not that many "hard counters" in overwatch.. some are almost that, but mostly it's more like soft counters, where you have to play uphill, but can still pull off great things sometimes
>>337702258
TF2 had private servers with custom game modes to mitigate that stagnation, and it was $20. Overwatch is more restricted with that and it's $40 so there's not much to work with.
Don't get me wrong, I liked the beta, but I'm not entirely sure I wanna go spend the money on it unless I know we're getting some more variety on that front.
>>337702206
TF2 had unlimited content via custom maps and gamemodes. OW is entirely relying on the company that thinks it's OK to play the same raid for 9 months.
>>337702487
what's your favourite TF2 mod anon?
>This game is gonna die like Diablo 3.
wich still gets new content(areas items balancing) and new seasons every 2 months or so? despite not bringing in any more money for blizzard?
>>337702074
>1 2 3 Offense
>pyro is 3
>one hit from a flamethrower ticks away like 60 of your life
>huge dps potential with m1 m2 flaregun m1
>always in the front line because useless in the back
>telling me its a defense class because youve seen 1 pyro hide in an engi nest to counter spies
>>337702578
I guess that's why their MMO failed like it didand the company had to close
TF2 has better writing
>>337702273
B-BLIZZARD SHILL! SHILL!
I've never played a Blizzard game before. I loathed WoW because I played Guild Wars and Eve when it was more popular. Starcraft, HotS, and Hearthstone don't interest me.
>White on white equals not clear. Basic design
Not when there's a black outline on all HUD elements which makes your point irrelevant.
>TF2 has custom huds
>moving the goalposts by bringing in mods to the discussion
I slightly agree on the healthbars but when playing the beta they weren't a big problem at all. Is Overwatch being a good game threatening to you or something? You're clinging to the most worthless straw men arguments to try and shoot it down.
>>337702450
Its still on the top 10 most played steam games, so do they really need advertising?
>>337702318
>sniper equips razorback and stays in defensive spot with sentries watching on a pl or cp map
Sentries, which require an engineer. A 2v1 is not a hard counter. I've already told you how the spy takes them out.
>engie deletes all projectiles, demo and soldier cant do anything about it
The SC was nerfed, it can't shut down either of them now.
>sniper stays back like theyre supposed to (seriously are you retarded?) heavy cant do anything about it
Sniper can only kill a heavy with a fully charged headshot, as long as the heavy doesn't have bb or natasha. And in case you hadn't noticed, TF2 is a team game, the clue's in the name. A heavy isn't supposed to take on anyone by himself.
